We like playing games...but we love making them

Welcome to AlphaSprite

About Us

AlphaSprite was formed by two individuals with the goal of making unique and rewarding iPhone / iPad experiences. Although we aren't a huge company, we know what we like. Because of this, AlphaSprite is determined to develop and publish a slowly growing collection of exciting, accessible and above all, fun games and apps to the mobile device market.

Oh and by the way...we're from New Zealand

New Zealand is known for a lot of things. Clean pure water, dual folk guitarists, lots of sheep, being next to Australia... and we did a few films about elves and a ring a while back*.But it's not so recognised for iPhone development. AlphaSprite is one of the many mobile game developers here in New Zealand that are stamping their prestigious marks all over the iPhone market.

* Yes - you're right, it was the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy. And no, we weren't in it. But we knew heaps of people who were orcs or fairies or something.

CAT-ch

An addictive (and slightly hypnotic) puzzle-reflex game for Apple iPhone and iPad - launched in 2014. It features a gluttonous cat trying to catch as many tasty treats as he can as they tumble down the screen. Easy to pick-up and play - very hard to put down once you find your groove

CoachPad

CoachPad is an essential digital tool for coaches everywhere. Use the iPad's portability and touch-screen interface to formulate strategies for basketball, football, soccer, rugby, ice hockey, tennis and more - all in one App. It was featured in the official Apple iPad 2 television advertisement in 2011

"Normally I would play a game like this sitting on the bus on the way to work, however, now that I have a car, most of my gaming time is confined to the time I get home... this game kept me up last night until around 3.30am, it’s just that addictive!"

"There isn’t much more to be said of CoachPad, except that it works brilliantly, is a great tool, for in game use, or to plan plays at home to show the team later."

We're Back! Well... nearly.

AlphaSprite is pleased to announce we are working on a new game for Apple iPhone and iPad. It's been far too long, but one of us has since brought twins into this world and the other has become a grand-father (what the?!) We missed developing games and making stuff for iOS, but we think that this one is going to be worth the wait... Stay tuned for an update coming soon.

CoachPad Featured on Apple iPad 2 Advert

AlphaSprite's iPad & iPad 2 app, CoachPad was recently showcased in Apple's iPad 2 television advert. Airing in November 2011, it revolves around the emotive theme of 'Love' and how people engage with the iPad on a daily basis. CoachPad appears at the beginning of the clip where a basketball coach shows a gameplay strategy to his team on an iPad 2. Here at AlphaSprite, we felt privileged to be a part of Apple's inspirational marketing campaign.
